In today's episode:

Pilar shares how to get into the habit of writing, and how to be aware of the context that helps you to do your best writing. Advice from Becoming a Writer by Dorothea Brand

She's heard some wonderful advice over at the Story Grid podcast on how to pick up a book you're writing after being away from it for a while. 

Finally, Pilar shares what she liked stylistically from Nick Hornby's 'Juliet, Naked'. (By the way, she thought she'd written a blog post on it, but she hasn't!)

At the end of the show, you can find out other podcast Pilar hosts and the books she's written.
